If I wanted to get started with LEGO pneumatics, how would I go about it? A search at the S@H site turned up no hits in the parts or kits, and even Dacta seems to have only one kit: (URL) ...which might be OK, but it's pretty limited, and contains a (...)

It's probably only a few percent lead content, so handling it wouldn't bear anywhere near the same risk of lead poisoning that handling pure lead does. (...) (...)
